explain_realloc_or_die(3)   Library Functions Manual   explain_realloc_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_realloc_or_die - Allocate and free dynamic memory and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/realloc.h>
     void explain_realloc_or_die(void *ptr, size_t size);

DESCRIPTION
     The  explain_realloc_or_die  function is used to call the realloc(3) system
     call.  On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,  obtained  from
     explain_realloc(3),   and	 then	the   process	terminates   by  calling
     exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

     This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the  following
     example:
	    void *new_ptr = explain_realloc_or_die(ptr, size);

     ptr     The ptr, exactly as to be passed to the realloc(3) system call.

     size    The size, exactly as to be passed to the realloc(3) system call.

     Returns:
	     This  function  only returns on success.  On failure, prints an ex-
	     planation and exits.
